What do I put into URL Key on a new HTML form?

Question

I'm building a new HTML form which I'm intending to copy from other forms and I see there is a required "URL Key" field on form properties that I don't know what to fill in with. Do I need a particular value? Does it need to be unique? Do I need to create a file with a matching name or register the number somewhere?  The other forms have long keys that appear random to me and I don't see them matching up with anything. Thanks for your help!

You can use anything you like in the "URL Key".

The QIE HTML Forms module is being deprecated and will go away in a future release. It is recommended that you use a channel with an HTTP Listener which can be configured to serve up and process forms similar to the existing QIE HTML Forms module functionality. Using an HTTP Listener has the added benefit of being able to respond to AJAX calls to serve up more responsive and interactive forms. 

I've attached a sample channel that simply responds with a web page.

Will "Error Forms" use HTTP Listeners as well? That's the purpose for the form I've been working with.

In the future, we will have some way to point to a listener channel but for now, you would need to use a form.
